Abstract

Various secondary alkyl iodides bearing a remote alkynylsilane underwent intramolecular carbolithiations triggered by an I/Li-exchange performed at -100 degrees C using t-BuLi (2.5 equiv). The resulting alkenyllithiums were stereo selectively converted to tetrasubstituted cyclopentane exo-alkylidenes. After Pd-catalyzed hydrogenation, cyclopentanes and cis-bicyclo[4.3.0]nonanes were obtained with stereo control of four contiguous centers.
